I'd like going here more often if there were more shady spots to watch the races.

still a good time, though.

OH HELLZ YEAH!!! Drags and racecars

Ya know we should really start an autos/transportation section on this board. Post stuff about car shows, rides, races, etc...

I should also post my spring/summer/fall schedule for the good car shows in the area.

My dad and I both raced there for a number of years. I used to have videos of me going around but I'm not sure where they are anymore.

And in related news the CARB ban on race gas looks like it might be spreading to more states... ...fuckers...

I'm open to staring a new section like that, the problem is that , the overall activity on the board wont support a new forum via osmosis and unless there are a handful of specific people willing to "champion" a forum like that , regularly, it'll just be dead. I asked a few people when this was suggested before and could only get one or two people willing to post in it / make up new threads regularly. Last thing we need is another section with like one post a day.

There have been several good ideas for new board sections, the problem is the over all activity level of the board just wont support them, at least not yet. And/or my impression of a board with 25 different sections and only 10 of them having any activity is a bad idea, is incorrect.

Not sure If I'm thinking about that right or not. /ponders.
